First of all, what is a pilgrim? A pilgrim is a person who journeys to a sacred place for religious reasons. With that said, there are many reasons why people go on pilgrimages. Although the main reason being for spiritual grow. If you want perfection than pilgrimages are probably not for you. The reason there are these pilgrimages is for growth with God. It is the opening of your eyes, heart, and the word of God.
But why are pilgrimages only important to some people and not others? Well many people have different reasons. The person might think that their Spiritual growth does not need improvement. Honestly, it comes down to the individual. If the person is truly catholic and believes that no one Is perfect, than they will seek God through pilgrimages. People don’t believe that pilgrimages are necessary to grow spiritually and become closer to God.
